Re: Zelda Movie: Volume III

It looks decent for a fan film, Though I must say they do the British accent a little too heavy. I won't give a full opinion till I see the whole thing.

Re: Zelda Movie: Volume III

Wow! 100% better then the original trailer.
Unfortunatly, that still does not say much for the film (just for you Fergus). Ganondorf's voice frankly sounds like that from The Return of Ganondorf. Link's bleach blond hair makes him seem more like an N*SYNC fan boy then the Hero of Time, and what I think is suposed to be Shiek looks more like a belly dancer then Ninja-like tom boy.
I'll give them credit for thier work, for a small fan film, they've done quite well. Heck, I'll probably even end up watching it when it comes out, but I still don't see it as anything to get overly excited about. Not to mention the fact that the barage of "ZOMG! ZELDA MOVIE *inserts link* ITZ G01NG 2 B AWSUM" which I know is soon to come scares me.

Quote from Kotaku editor on the BMB finishes new Zelda trailer... which made me laugh.

Re: Zelda Movie: Volume III

Srry I haven't posted in a while.
I thought the new trailer was about as bad as the first. I think they took film for the preview and not actual shots from the movie ... oops
any way. They should have given him fair colored hair not bleach blond. okay so the actor didn't have the right hair color to begin with. the hat looked better in this than it did in the IGN trailer.

actually the only bad part about IGN joke (besides its being a joke) was the corny shot of Link looking up at the camera.

Then why don't you do a 1 page treatment of your story.
I'd like to hear others ideas.

This is telling a summary of your story,
not ' ( and he does this because ) ' type of thing.

Pitch..HERE!

Re: Zelda Movie: Volume III

i think that for a fan film the BMB finishes' ( even tought it's not finished...srry bad joke) looks quite good. By the way:
Is that blonde woman in the beginning supposed to be Impa?
Who's the woman at 2:01? ( editted)
About a REAL zelda movie now: I think the best story to make a movie would be Alttp if not OoT. Or a totally new story, but it has to have Ganon and the Master sword( Link and zelda too of course).

well, it is a REAL Zelda movie, but it's just a fan-made movie. A movie is still a real movie.

I agree with your two choices. ALttP or OoT are both very appealing games, and two of the best-known ones at that. Also, they have the most plot involved of the earlier games. A movie could not be based on MM, WW or TP because they all reference OoT (and consequently ALttP) far too much. Perhaps sequels could be made.

As for CGI vs. live-action, I am still on the fence about that. I can see advantages and disadvantages for both. CGI would be easy because the designers could simply recreate the desired Link with ease, and make him look legit. Live-action gets a little tricky with casting actors. Although, i would vote for New Zealand to be the perfect place for location.

Cool Links Mom!

Well I think you should tell about inks mom on OoT and the full story of how she gave him to the deku tree to be raised as a Kokiri child.

Re: Zelda Movie: Volume III

another reason why Oot would be a good choice for making a movie. It is vastly considered to be the first Zelda chronologically, so it would serve as a good movie since it would be introducing everything about the Zelda Universe.

PS I don't want to get into a timeline debate so please refrain from comments that pertain to such. Thanks.

Re: Zelda Movie: Volume III

A movie could not be based directly upon a game. first off, There's too little dialog and then there's too much free choice in a game that you can't do in a movie. I understand that you could take Idea's from the game but you cant copy the entire thing. it won't work.

Agreed.
The film should be a re-telling of the classic
Zelda story, in order to be told within 2 hours.

Remember everyone, it's got to appeal to
fans and non fans alike, so ask yourself,
what attracts you to Zelda?

The film would need to summarize
what makes Zelda so special in a film
minus the gameplay of course, haha.
So what does make Zelda so special?
Is it the story? The Characters? The mythology?
The monsters? The Locations? it's all of it!

First, get the classic Zelda in there,
then in sequels you can have extra themes
that weren't explored in the first film.
Re-introducing new characters? New locations?
Here we go again!

And ZeldaStrife! Welcome back! The place was getting dull with out you!
Hahahahaha.

Re: Zelda Movie: Volume III

I think they can take the characters from a game and use that set of characters tho. sometimes it just doesn't work to have totally different supporting casts. Link sort of needs a guide. not like navi but like a mentor. Rusl for example was one of these. That way it makes sense for those who need an introduction to it.

A prophecy would be a nice way to introduce the movie. Like talking about dark times and a "Hero of the Three" (the triforce) to save the day.
What do you think

Re: Zelda Movie: Volume III

Well then thatOoT is out the way , What about Link gets married and somehow becomes the king of Hyrule!
You could add something about him having to go to Termina or something.

Some say that film isn't "true" art because its a highly collaborative effort.. none-the-less, film is business. If it isn't about money (big budget) then it won't be made bottom line. Studios don't throw around 100+ million dollars just for the art of it if there isn't a planned return on the investment. That being said it doesn't mean that the filmmakers involved can't care about it too in an "artistic" way, whatever that means... I'm sure what I have said is pretty obvious but I stated it anyways. If there was an experienced/successful big budget director out there, along with like a writer and a producer who were also big Zelda fans, I mean really fans like they have played all the games and what not then you could get the best of both worlds. I think with past adaptation failures whether for a game or a book or whatever, the filmmakers tried to stick with what they thought was a "standard recipe" for making a film that would sell without really being in tune with the source material. Its hard to standardize a recipe for film though, even for the professionals. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes not. Look at the variety of films out there. I think LOTR was a good example of big budget filmmaking for the money of it but the filmmakers were also deeply connected with and cared for the source material...

I'd really like it if they made a Zelda movie. I actually made a script of my idea of a Zelda movie in the General Zelda section.

Same here. I can't picture Link as a king.

Everyone ignores me
darkbeastganon, you nailed right on the head in my opinion. This is key. Let me just say that I personally believe this is one of the reasons that a film has yet to be made. You see the story for Zelda, really at its core, is a fairy tale of a dude who rescues a princess and kills the bad guy who is trying to rule the world.. same thing as Mario but with an "elf" doing it. That was what The Ocarina of Time was about and it is most certainly the franchises most recognizable and popular game. So most people, fans anyways, seemingly recognize this either on a conscience or sub-conscience level, pass off the story, and instead focus on the ancillary details...if he wears a hat or not, tights or not, who should be cast as Link, even if it should be animated or not. This stuff is important but it is also subordinate to a very compelling and powerful story, the screenplay. I don't think Nintendo is worried so much about those details as the core story. It can't be as simple as the lover boy-rescue-princess-save world scenario. Its too generic, to0 tired and old (if that's all that it is) to really be successful - even with all the fancy Zelda lore thrown in as an interface to convey it. It could include those elements but it must be more than just that. It needs a good story, I mean a really good story must be at the core and the writers who understand how to do this - possilby someone like Steve Zailian or someone with similar talent, have yet to care about it. Mostly because, I believe, they havn't played any of the games. It's not primarily the story that grabs the gamers, its the experience of PLAYING what is, profoundly, a good game. A game is more than just a story, its interface, gameplay etc. Its hard to pull on board the big shot filmmakers because they havn't played it and when they look at it its like "oh, an elf who has to save a princess from an evil bad guy who wants to conquer the world <yawn>"
Someone needs to give em' a screenplay that knocks them of their feet...a story...
